Brett Eldredge

Country music centers so strongly on storytelling, and one of its favorites stories to tell is a love story.

Brett Eldredge tried to take a day off on Christmas. His family wouldn't let him.

On a recent episode of 'The Kelly Clarkson Show', the two artists finally met -- and they performed their new holiday duet, too.

Kelly Clarkson and Brett Eldredge went "Under the Mistletoe" during the Christmas in Rockefeller Center special.

Tune into the special on NBC this December.

The upbeat, festive love song, penned by Clarkson, arrived on Wednesday (Oct. 28), just under two months out from the year-end holiday.

Kelly enlisted the country Christmas crooner himself — Brett Eldredge — for this original duet.

Luke Combs is UNSTOPPABLE!

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in country music!
